Take a look at my final Walk-A-Thon total!!! Chrissy donated a whopping $450 from the Walk-A-Thon sock pattern to put me will over the $1000 mark!! Thank you so much Chrissy, and everyone who pledged and bought the pattern. I remain speechless by how well the fund-raising went!

This project is all about sending some hand-knit presents to some underprivileged kids. The hats, gloves and scarves they receive may very well be their only Christmas gifts this year. You can find out more by reading the first post on the Soaring Eagles blog. If you have some time, I urge you to knit up a hat and donate to the cause.

On a completely unrelated note, guess what I'll be doing for the next four days? OH. MY. GOODNESS. Wow!!! Those of you who are big skating fans like me know just how thrilling this will be!!! We have tickets to all four days and will be allowed to sit in for the practice sessions also. So if you don't hear much from me until next week, you'll know I'm in Skating Heaven!!!!

Yay for your Walk-A-Thon total, this is absolutely amazing! And thanks for sharing that link to The Soaring Eagles Project, will have to check that out right away!Have a lot of fun in Ice Skating Heaven! ;)

I love to watch skating on t.v. It would be so neat to be able to go in person. I'm glad you get to fulfill your dreams. I check out the Soaring Eagles Project and I will try to get some hats made. I feel so terrible for the kids dealing with so much at such young ages. If knitting something can bring joy to these children, I am all for helping. Have a great weekend!

Oh my! Twice! I am so glad to hear that you have met your goal. And, I know that you will have a great time watching the skating! We used to go to the Ice Capades in Montreal when I was a kid, and it was the highlight of my winter. :)
